IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

*-f-Qb-o-k The nchedule'lrefen'ed to n these LettervsPatent vand making part of the same.

vTo all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, J oHN E. FINLEY, of Memphis, county of Shelby, and State, of Tennessee, have iuvented a new and useful .Improvement in Vapor-Burners and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description'of the lconsti-notion and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, in

whichusual forms, with cock G, tube F, and packing E, all

arranged in the usual manner, to which I add a draughttube, B,'constructed with open, bottom, to admit air freely, and directing the flame against the flanges or wings A A, which are heated by means of the flame, and in this manner convert the duid escaping through the hole D into gas', while the top of the Wings A A are shaped in 'such a manner as to give the flame a broad fan-tail shape.

Under this tube and flanges, I construct a' reservoir or receiver, G, in such a way as to receive all the iuid escaping, when the flame is rst lighted, and preventing it from running over the cocks of the burner, or on the floor. i

The object o' this invention is to furnish a vaporburner free from the usual hissing noise, and, at the v same time, furnisha light not easily extinguished by the draught of air or wind common in the open air, and, at the same time, furnish a broad fan-tail flame, and convert all of the fluid iuto gas. A

In this burner, the hissing sound is prevented by use of the tube B, and, at the same time, the wind is prevented from blowing or extinguishing the flame.

What I ciaim as `my invention, and desire to se` cure by Letters Patent, isi The combination of the tube B with the wings or flanges A A, reservoir C, the whole used in combination, as described, and for the purpose.- specified.
